Usually in C "typedef SomeType SomeName" has the same effect

I'm afraid you are wrong on that.
Consider this example (common in pre-C++ C):
typedef char* String;
The declaration of the two variables 'foo' & 'bar' in the following
statement:
String foo, bar;
is equivalent to:
char *foo, *bar;

but if you had instead done:
#define String char*
you would obviously get something quite different from the statement:
String foo, bar;



You are right, and this statement was intentionnally vague. But this difference is precisely the reason for which I want to use
typedef SomeClass<SomeProtocol> SomeName
and not
typedef SomeClass<SomeProtocol>* SomeName

The former is equivalent to #define SomeName SomeClass<SomeProtocol>, except with respect to NSInvocation as I explained in my first message.
